    Well, I just tried XSane and got the same results. I tried to test it in that
    other OS, but, wouldn't you know, the app that the scanner manufacturer
    supplied hangs every time I try to use it. I guess I need to remove the lid
    and see if there is something else going on. Certainly, two apps producing
    the same results seems to point to the H/W, right?

    FWIW, I like XSane's interface much better than Kooka's. It seems to be a bit
    more intuitive to me.

    Thanks for the comments.
